Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute sheet processing by temporarily processing with insufficient processing contents before editing in the case when the influence of editing is neglectable, and later, allowing a user to correct-input insufficiently processed contents from a terminal device of PC, etc. SOLUTION: When a sheet is inputted from an image inputting part 4, a sheet recognizing part 2 recognizes a sheet ID and inquires the sheet ID of a sheet processing managing DB 8. In the case of judging that the sheet is not the newest, printing data on a newest sheet with the largest version number among sheets with a job ID equal to the sheet used through the use of DB 8 is fetched to be printed by a printing part 1 in the system and then, it is sheet-processed by a job processing part 6. After then, link information to a processing result is obtained. Then, a mail granted link information to the editor's communicating destination of the newest sheet and the processing result is prepared and transmitted to a sheet user through the use of a reporting part 3. The sheet user easily reaches the processing result from this mail and executes necessary correction.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a business instruction processing system using a business instruction sheet for recognizing business instruction contents described on a business instruction sheet and processing instructions based on the contents. The present invention relates to a business instruction processing system based on a business instruction sheet in which a management unit determines whether the version number described in (1) is the latest and executes a predetermined process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of automating a job using a job instruction sheet which can indicate a business process by checking a mark has been used in various fields.

[0003] In particular, for a job of inputting a paper document as an image from a scanner or the like and processing the image, a job instruction sheet and a paper document to be processed are handled as a set and read. A business instruction processing system based on a business instruction sheet that can be input to the device is highly convenient and has been proposed by various companies.

[0004] By using such a work instruction sheet, even a user who does not know the details of the work can perform the work. Now, consider a case where a sheet is edited in such a use environment.

[0005] Since each user has a business instruction sheet in hard copy, there is always a possibility that the business instruction sheet before editing is used after the sheet is edited. If the business instruction sheet before editing is used, the processing may be performed according to the contents described in the sheet before editing, and thus the business may be confused.

For this reason, when a business instruction sheet before editing is input, it is general that an error occurs and the input of the business instruction sheet before editing is blocked. Under such an assumption, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-305684 not only reports that a sheet cannot be used, but also obtains the latest version of a sheet by a sheet user. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-157572 discloses a system that reduces labor.

In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-305684,
A method to determine the new or old sheet and print the latest sheet on the spot when the sheet is used, so that you can get the edited latest sheet without bothering the sheet editor Has been proposed.

[0008]

As described above, conventionally, when a sheet before editing is used, an input is blocked as an error. However, if the sheet that the user intends to use is the one before editing and the use is blocked as an error, the user will be able to perform three steps of “acquire new version”, “respecify”, and “reload”. Is needed anew.

[0009] Regarding "Obtaining a new version", see
In Japanese Patent No. 5684, means for obtaining the latest version only by the printing time is disclosed, but processing by three procedures of "printing a new version", "re-designation", and "re-input" is still required.

Considering the editing contents of each sheet, there is a case where it is not always necessary to make an error. For example, a case where the sheet layout is changed to an easy-to-understand form or a case where the number of tasks handled by the sheet is increased.

In the former case, there is no problem in using the sheet before editing, and even in the latter case, the sheet before editing is sufficient to perform the work before the increase. Further, even when the use of the unedited sheet is not completely correct, it is possible to improve the convenience by operating according to the contents instructed on the unedited sheet without causing an error.

[0012] From the user's point of view, there is a demand to reduce the time that is locked in front of the device.
On the other hand, from the perspective of the device, considering that this system is implemented in a shared multifunction device (scanner, printer, copier, facsimile), this type of multifunction device is relatively There is a demand to reduce the occupancy of the device because the operating rate of the device is high.

For this reason, when the effect of editing is sufficiently small, processing is performed once with insufficient processing content before editing, and the user later corrects a small processing content from a terminal device such as a PC on the network. By inputting, it is possible to complete the sheet processing, and depending on the degree of editing contents, it is also desirable to provide a sheet before editing without error and to provide various means for processing according to the contents of the sheet. It is rare.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above points. For example, when the influence of editing is sufficiently small, the processing is performed once with insufficient processing contents before editing, and later, The user can complete the sheet processing by correcting and inputting a small processing content from a terminal device such as a PC on the network, and depending on the degree of the editing content, the sheet before editing can be displayed without an error. It is an object of the present invention to provide a business operation processing system using a business operation instruction sheet for inputting and processing according to the contents of the sheet.

[0015]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sheet version number representing a version of a business instruction sheet when a business instruction sheet including a description of a predetermined business instruction content is created and edited. Printing means for printing on each job instruction sheet, management means for managing the version of each job instruction sheet based on the version number printed on the job instruction sheet, and the job instruction content being described, and Sheet reading means for reading the job instruction sheet on which a version number is printed, sheet recognizing means for recognizing the description content and sheet version number of the job instruction sheet read by the sheet reading means, and the sheet recognizing means The sheet version number recognized by the management instruction sheet is managed by the management means. A determination unit for determining whether or not the business instruction sheet is the latest version, and when the determination result by the determination unit is the latest version, processing is performed based on the description content of the job instruction sheet recognized by the sheet recognition unit, Even when the judgment result is not the latest version, if the difference between the content specified by the latest version of the business instruction sheet and the content specified by the relevant business instruction sheet is small, the business instruction sheet is regarded as an error. Rather, processing means for processing based on the description contents of the business instruction sheet recognized by the sheet recognizing means is provided.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, when creating and editing a business instruction sheet including a description of a predetermined business instruction content, a sheet version number representing the version of the business instruction sheet is assigned to each business instruction sheet. Printing means for printing on a sheet, corresponding processing designating means for designating a corresponding process for each of the business instruction sheets from a plurality of corresponding processes for the old version in advance when editing the business instruction sheet, and the business instruction sheet Management means for managing the version of each job instruction sheet based on the version number printed on the sheet, and sheet reading means for reading the job instruction sheet on which the job instruction content is described and the sheet version number is printed And the description content and the sheet version number of the job instruction sheet read by the sheet reading means. And over preparative recognition means, determining means for determining whether the latest, based on the version of the business instruction sheet is recognized the sheet plate numbers are managed by the management unit by the sheet recognizing section,
When the determination result by the determination unit is the latest version, processing is performed based on the description content of the job instruction sheet recognized by the sheet recognition unit, and when the determination result by the determination unit is not the latest version,
And a processing means for performing processing based on the corresponding processing specified for the business instruction sheet by the corresponding processing specifying means.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, when a business instruction sheet including a description of a predetermined business instruction content is created and edited, a sheet version number indicating a version of the business instruction sheet is assigned to each business instruction sheet. Printing means for printing on a sheet, management means for managing the version of each job instruction sheet based on the version number printed on the job instruction sheet, and the job instruction content being described, and the sheet version number being printed Sheet reading means for reading the job instruction sheet, sheet recognition means for recognizing the description content and sheet version number of the job instruction sheet read by the sheet reading means, and sheet recognition means for recognizing the job instruction sheet. The sheet version number is updated based on the version of the job instruction sheet managed by the management unit. A determination unit for determining whether or not the job instruction sheet is the latest version. When the determination result is the latest version, processing is performed based on the description content of the job instruction sheet recognized by the sheet recognition unit, and the determination result is Even if it is not the latest version, if there is no significant difference between the content specified by the latest version of the business instruction sheet and the content specified by the relevant business instruction sheet, the business instruction sheet may be regarded as an error. Processing means for performing processing based on the description content of the business instruction sheet recognized by the sheet recognition means, and when the determination result by the determination means is not the latest version, the processing by the processing means is directly performed, or Whether to cancel the process and re-instruct using the latest version of the job instruction sheet Work processing system according to operational instruction sheet to a notification unit, characterized by comprising a query is provided.

[0018]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a business processing system using a business instruction sheet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration for realizing a business processing system using a business instruction sheet according to an example of the present invention.

The job processing system using the job instruction sheet includes an image input unit 4, a sheet recognition unit 2, a printing unit 1, a sheet processing management (DB) database (DB) 8, a display instruction device 7 such as a control panel, and a notification unit 3. , A business processing unit 6 and a control unit 5.

The image input unit 4 is generally constituted by a scanner or the like, and reads a business instruction sheet and a document to be processed, and converts it into image data. The sheet recognizing unit 2 includes a barcode expressing a sheet ID (business ID + version number) from the image data of the business instruction sheet read by the image input unit 4;
Recognize and read marks such as business instructions from the user.

The sheet processing management DB 8 is a database that manages version information for each job and instruction content information for each sheet. The display instruction device 7 is usually called a control panel,
Displays messages and options to the user and receives instructions from the user.

The notification unit 3 saves the contents processed by the sheet in a log, or notifies the sheet user or the sheet creator using a mail or the like through a network. The job processing unit 6 actually processes the job specified on the sheet.

The image storage unit 9 temporarily stores the input job target document image data. The printing unit 1 is provided for the purpose of printing the latest sheet when an old sheet is used.

If it is not necessary to print the latest version of the sheet, the printing unit 1 may not be provided. Finally, the control unit 5 controls each of the above parts.

FIG. 1 shows a client PC 10, a printer 11, and a business process target (database or the like) 12 as components other than the business processing system. The client PC 10 is used for sheet creation and editing, notification that an old sheet has been used, and correction of a target processed by the old sheet.

The printer 11 is used for printing created and edited sheets. For this printing, the printing unit 1 may be used. The business processing unit 6 processes the document read by the image input unit 4 according to the process specified on the sheet.
Here, as an example, it is assumed that the information is ultimately stored in the business process target (database or the like) 12.

FIG. 2 is a table showing an example of the sheet processing management DB. In this way, a table is managed as one column for each sheet having a different job ID and version number.

The managed elements are the work I
D, version number, sheet processing content, sheet print data, editor contact information, and data on a coping method when a newer sheet is used are managed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the entire system. When a sheet is input from the image input unit 4, the sheet ID is
Is recognized (step S1), and the sheet ID is inquired to the sheet management DB 8 (step S2).

As a result, if it is the latest, the sheet processing determined by the sheet ID is executed and the processing is terminated (step S).
3, S4). On the other hand, if the sheet is not the latest, it differs for each processing mode, and will be described later.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the processing mode 1. That is, if it is determined that the sheet is not the latest, the print data of the latest sheet having the highest version number among the sheets having the same business ID as the used sheet is extracted using the sheet processing management DB 8. (Step S11) After printing by the printing unit 1 in the system (Step S12), the job processing unit performs sheet processing (Step S13).

FIG. 5A is a flowchart illustrating the processing mode 2. That is, when it is determined in step S3 in FIG. 3 that the sheet is not the latest,
Using the sheet processing management DB 8, the editor contact information of the latest sheet having the largest version number among the sheets having the same business ID as the used sheet is extracted (step S2).
1).

Thereafter, the job processing section 6 performs sheet processing (step S22), and acquires link information to the processing result. Then, an e-mail with the editor contact information of the latest sheet and link information to the processing result is created and transmitted to the sheet user using the notification unit (step S23).

As a result, a mail is sent to the sheet user requesting correction of the sheet having the format and the contents shown in FIG. Here, the feature is that a link to the processing result (with a link underline) is shown.

The link to the processing result is not limited to such a hyperlink format. If the processing result is a file, a method such as path information that can easily reach the processing result may be presented. .

The sheet user can easily reach the processing result from the mail and make necessary corrections. The user's contact information can be obtained as follows.

When using the business processing system, FIG.
Is displayed on the control panel 7 to authenticate the user, thereby identifying the seat user. At this time, the user's contact information can be obtained from the specified user by using a DB in which the user ID and the contact information are corresponded as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5B is a flowchart for explaining the details of the sheet processing (step S22) in FIG. 5A. That is, when the sheet processing is started, the job processing unit 6 performs the sheet processing (step S2).
2a), returning link information to the processing result (step S
22b), the sheet processing ends.

FIG. 8A is a flowchart for explaining the processing mode 3. That is, if it is determined in step S3 of FIG. 3 that the sheet is not the latest, the latest sheet having the largest version number among the sheets having the same business ID as the sheet used by using the sheet processing management DB 8 is used. The editor contact information of the sheet is taken out (step S31).

Thereafter, the sheet processing is performed by the business processing unit 6, and link information to the processing result is obtained (step S3).
2). Then, a mail to which the contact information to the sheet user and the link information to the processing result are added is created, and the mail is transmitted to the latest sheet editor using the notification unit 3 (step S33).

As a result, a mail as shown in FIG. 9 is sent to the sheet editor. The sheet editor reaches the processing result from this e-mail and can make necessary corrections.

Further, since the information of the seat user is provided, it is possible to instruct the seat user on a correction method. FIG. 8B is a flowchart for explaining details of the sheet processing (step S32) in FIG. 8A.

That is, when the sheet processing is started, the job processing unit 6 performs the sheet processing (step S32a).
Returning link information to the processing result (step S32
b), the sheet processing ends.

FIG. 10 is a display example of the display instruction device 7 such as a control panel relating to the processing mode 4. As shown in the drawing, the fact that an old sheet has been used is displayed on the control panel 7, and a processing method for the used sheet is presented for selection.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the processing mode 4. That is, if it is determined in step S3 in FIG. 3 that the sheet is not the latest, it is determined that the old sheet is used as shown in FIG.
(Step S41), and asks the user for an input of a confrontation method.

When a coping method is selected by the user (step S42), according to the selected method (step S43), sheet information of the ID having the largest version number among the sheets having the same business ID is obtained (step S43). Step S
44a), “Print (stop sheet processing)” (step S4)
4b), “sheet processing + printing” (step S45),
"Sheet processing + contact user" (step S46)
The processing of "sheet processing + contact editor" (step S47) is performed.

Here, the latter three “sheet processing + printing”
(Step S45), "Sheet processing + contact user"
(Step S46), "Sheet processing + contact editor"
The processing of (Step S47) is performed as described above.

"Print (stop sheet processing)" (step S
44b) performs only printing of the latest sheet.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the processing mode 5.

That is, in step S3 of FIG.
If it is determined that the sheet is not the latest, a coping method for the sheet is acquired from the sheet processing management DB (step S51), and according to the coping method (step S52), the largest version of the sheet having the same job ID is obtained. After acquiring the sheet information of the ID having the number (step S5
3a), “Print (stop sheet processing)” (step S53)
b), “Sheet processing + print” (step S54), “sheet processing + contact user” (step S55), and “sheet processing + contact editor” are performed (step S5).
6).

FIG. 13 shows an example of a coping method for realizing the processing mode 6 and its priority correspondence table. Here, "print + re-input"
"Processing + mail to editor", "processing + mail to user", "processing + printing", "processing only".

Next, the processing mode 7 will be described. In the state shown in FIG.
When the sheet with the number of = 108001 and the version number = 2 is used, it is displayed on the control panel 7 as shown in FIG. 15 to inquire the user.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the processing mode 6. What is shown here is the processing when the edited sheet is registered in the sheet processing management DB 8.

First, the user inputs a coping method only for the previous sheet (step S61). The priority of the coping means is obtained from the priority correspondence table of FIG. 13 (step S62).

Here, the business ID of the sheet to be registered as a target method or a change target of all old version sheets
The following processing is performed for the sheet with the same business ID as the above. The priority of the coping method of each sheet is obtained, compared with the priority for the input coping method, and the priority of the coping method of the sheet is If it is lower, the coping method of the sheet is rewritten to the input coping method (steps S63 to S70).

An example of processing according to the above procedure will be described below. In this case, FIG.
It is assumed that the sheet is registered as shown in FIG.

At this time, when a new edition is registered by editing the sheet having the job ID of 1080011 and the version number of 3, the user is used for the sheet having the task ID of 108001 and the version number of 3. It is supposed that the processing of "processing + email to editor" is specified by e-mail as a coping method in the event of the above.

At this time, it can be seen from FIG. 13 that the priority input by the user is 2. Using this priority, the coping method for each sheet of the job ID = 108011 and the version number = 1, 2, 3 is rewritten.

At this time, the countermeasure for the sheet of the version number 1 is originally “print + re-input” priority 1 and cannot be rewritten. Since the handling method of the sheet of the version number 2 is “process + email to user” priority 3, it is rewritten to “process + email to editor”.

Since the processing for the sheet of the version number 3 has not been specified so far, it is similarly “processing + mail to the editor”. FIG. 16 shows the contents of the sheet processing management DB 8 updated in this manner.

Next, as a specific example, a situation where a sheet is edited through the following process will be described as an example. 1. New creation for circulation 2. 2. Add Internet sub-category Minutes category added 4. Change to Notes 5. Further dividing the PrjB subcategory into subcommittees (1.1.) New creation First, as shown in FIG. 18, a catalog is input to the scanner 4, and an instruction sheet for registering the image file in the electronic filing system is created.

By using such a sheet, it is registered in the category of “catalog” of the electronic filing system. Assume that COMDEX and data show can be selected as the title of the document at the time of registration, as shown in FIG.

At this time, information on the newly created sheet is stored in the sheet processing management DB 8 in a table format as shown in FIG. (1.2.) Addition of Internet category As catalogs are organized, many Internet-related items have come to be seen, so "Internet-related" as shown in Fig. 20 has been added as a selectable title. Edit the sheet as follows.

The sheet processing management DB 8 stores the information of the sheet edited here. At this time, the user who has edited the immediately preceding sheet as shown in FIG. 18 according to the degree of change of the sheet changed this time selects a coping method.

In this change, the options are divided and new options are added, so that there is no problem even if it is left for a short time. For this reason, it is necessary to register in the filing system for the time being and have the user of the sheet deal with it later,
The processing method to be selected is “process + email to user”.

FIG. 21 shows the result of applying the algorithm of FIG. 13 as this selection. (1.3.) Minutes category added Minutes using this sheet (copy of whiteboard)
In order to respond to a request to make it possible to register a sheet, this change and editing are added to the sheet as shown in FIG.

The sheet processing management DB 8 stores the information of the sheet edited here. At this time, the user who has edited the previous sheet as shown in FIG. 20 according to the degree of change of the sheet changed this time selects a countermeasure.

Since the change this time has only increased the number of unrelated options (the role of the sheet has increased), there is no need to change anything that has been processed by the old sheet. However, since the number of sheets that can be processed is increasing, the processing to be selected is “processing + printing of the latest version”.

FIG. 23 shows the result of applying the algorithm of FIG. 13 to this selection. In this situation, when the sheet of FIG. 18 is used, the number of options on the Internet is increasing, and “processing + notify user by e-mail” has not changed as a coping method.

(1.4.) Change of registration destination to Notes Since Notes has been introduced this time, in order to respond to a request to manage information previously managed by electronic filing with Notes, FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, this change / edit is added to the sheet.

The sheet processing management DB 8 stores the information of the sheet edited here. At this time, the user who has edited the immediately preceding sheet as shown in FIG. 22 according to the degree of change of the sheet changed this time selects a coping method.

This change is very large because the registration destination has been changed. Therefore, if the previous sheet is used, it is expected that the sheet will be very confused.

FIG. 25 shows the result of applying the algorithm of FIG. 13 to this selection. As a countermeasure when the sheets shown in FIGS. 18 and 20 are used, “print + print the latest version” is automatically set.

This is because the priority of the coping method designated in FIG. 22 is higher than the coping methods “processing + mail to user” and “processing + latest version“ printing ”” of the sheets in FIGS. 18 and 20. .

(1.5.) Subdivision of title PrjB It is assumed that PrjB is now divided into subcommittees α and β (Pr
jB plenary meeting also remains).

FIG. 26 shows a sheet corresponding to this. The sheet processing management DB 8 stores the information of the sheet edited here. At this time, the user who has edited the immediately preceding sheet FIG. 24 in accordance with the degree of change of the sheet changed this time selects a coping method.

In this change, as in (addition of the Internet category), the options are split and new options are added, so that there is no problem if the options are left for a short time. For this reason, the sheet is registered in the filing system for the time being, and the user of the sheet is to be dealt with later, and “process + email to user” is selected as a measure to be selected.

FIG. 27 shows the result of applying the algorithm of FIG. 13 to this selection. At this time, there is no change in the coping method for FIGS. As described above, the present invention has the following processing procedure.

(1) Process according to the used sheet. However, a sheet whose usability has been improved by sheet editing may be printed for subsequent use.

(2) Processing is performed according to the used sheet, and the processed content is presented so that the processing content can be corrected later so as to conform to the latest sheet content.
The presentation method is log, printing, consolidation, e-mail, etc.
The method is not limited.

(3) The processed contents are sent to the sheet creator via an attached e-mail or the like so that the processed contents can be corrected in accordance with the latest business contents so as to be in accordance with the latest business contents. Allow authors to modify.

By providing these means, the user can select three means other than the means of printing the latest version as an error in response to the use of a sheet before editing. Become.

The following is an invention relating to means for selecting four specific means of the above (1) to (3) and "re-input by printing the latest version". (4) Provide a means for the sheet user to select the above specific means on the spot using the business processing system.

(5) When the sheet creator specifies the appropriate means for the old sheet at the time of editing the sheet, the specific means described above is set, and when the old sheet is used, Automatically select and execute the specified means.

The following is a supplementary invention of (5). (6) When specifying the means, specify only for the sheet of the previous version, and automate using the selection for the sheet of the earlier version.

Therefore, the present invention has the following effects. (1) When the effect of using an old sheet does not cause a problem in business, by using this means, the overhead of the user due to re-designation and re-reading can be eliminated.

(2) The advantage of the later correction is that the business instruction system is not used again, so that the use efficiency of the business instruction system is improved, and even a user having only old sheets can immediately use the system. And that the user is not bound by the business instruction system.

(3) The advantage of the sheet creator's correction is that it is not necessary to explain the details of the change in the business process. In particular, when there is no time for explanation, use of an old sheet is allowed as it is, and when time is available, it can be corrected collectively and the latest sheet use method can be explained.

(4) The sheet user can easily select a sheet in front of the business processing system according to the degree of change in the business process. Also, if the sheet user understands in detail the business process described on the old sheet,
This would provide a means to divert the old sheet to other uses.

5) The degree of change in the business process is best understood by the sheet creator. Therefore, by selecting an appropriate means by the sheet creator, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the sheet user to select and to avoid confusion caused by selecting an inappropriate means.

6) The work of the sheet creator to specify an appropriate means is reduced. By processing according to the sheet before editing as in (1) to (3), the user is not restrained in front of the apparatus. This leads to improved utilization of the device if the device is shared for various purposes.

[0091]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
For example, if the effect of editing is sufficiently small, processing is performed once with insufficient processing content before editing, and the user later corrects and inputs a small processing content from a terminal device such as a PC on the network. To provide a business processing system using a business instruction sheet that allows a user to complete sheet processing, input a sheet before editing without error depending on the degree of editing content, and process according to the content of the sheet. Can be.
